-Sparks, NV. -May 05, 2020. The Washoe County District Attorney's Office has determined that a May 2020 officer-involved shooting in Sparks was justified by police. Authorities say Ronal Adalberto Zendejas entered the office of Motel 6 and rented a room for one night where he then punched the plexiglass separating the lobby and employee areas, and then punched the office window as he left. Eventually, they say he returned and followed the general manager into the office, this time armed with a running chainsaw. The DA's office says the general manager retreated behind the counter, and Zendejas used the chainsaw to cut through the swinging half-door which separates the lobby and employee areas. The front desk manager took cover in the employee bathroom, while the general manager went into his apartment, which was connected to the office. They say Zendejas, who was still armed with the chainsaw, then entered the employee area. At some point, Sparks Police arrived to find Zendejas, who was sitting in his blue Honda Accord parked in the Motel 6 parking lot. The officers, who were dressed in full police uniforms, approached Zendejas, verbally identified themselves as police, and ordered him to stop and show his hands. They say Zendejas ignored their commands and rapidly reversed, and then drove out of the parking lot at a high rate of speed. As he fled, Zendejas drove across all travel lanes of Victorian Avenue, over a curb, struck a metal street sign, and stopped on landscaping rocks. At some point, Zendejas’ vehicle went into a parking lot next to a smog shop and crashed front-end into a wall. Additional officers arrived, approached the car, and removed Zendejas from the driver’s seat. They say Zendejas did not survive the incident, and a subsequent autopsy found the cause of his death to be multiple gunshot wounds.
